Expression of Interest are invited for Strategic Communication Support Services The GAFSP was created in 2010 in the aftermath of the 2008 food price crisis at the request of the G20 to invest in agriculture worldwide to reduce poverty and improve food and nutrition security in low- income countries. Over the past ten years, GAFSP has successfully pooled donor funds to make lasting improvements in those areas where financing and support are most needed to help alleviate poverty, improve rural livelihoods, and improve food security by raising agricultural productivity, linking farmers to markets, reducing risk and vulnerability, improving non-farm rural livelihoods, and strengthening capacity and institutions including through technical assistance. In the face of the dual climate and food security challenges, GAFSPs mandate is as relevant today as it was 10 years ago. To date, the Program has received over $2 billion in funding from 12 donors Australia, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, the Republic of Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. The decision-making body of GAFSP is the Steering Committee, which is comprised of an equal number of donor countries and recipient representatives as voting members. In addition, other stakeholders Supervising Entities (World Bank, IFC, regional development banks, Rome-based UN agencies), and Civil Society Organizations (one from an OECD country and two representing producer organizations in recipient regions) fully participate in Steering Committee deliberations as non-voting members. GAFSP is implemented as a Financial Intermediary Fund for which the World Bank serves as Trustee. The Steering Committee is currently chaired by Canada. The World Bank also hosts a Coordination Unit (CU) within the Agriculture and Food Global Practice that provides support to the GAFSP Steering Committee. The CU oversees overall Program operations, manages the Programs public sector portfolio, and coordinates with IFC, which manages GAFSPs Private Sector Window.
